1000: Joseph & Lucille Cacciatore Owners of Joe's Depot Diner

Welcome to the 1000th episode of Restaurant Unstoppable! Joseph and Lucille Cacciatore are the awesome parents of RU's host, Eric Cacciatore. Joe and Lucille are from different parts of Boston and moved to New Hampshire in the early 80s. In 1989, they opened Joe's Depot Diner in East Kingston, NH. In 1998, they closed their doors after plans for a new location fell through.  This is a story Eric has referenced many times on the show. In this episode, we will hear the story of Eric's parents, and their restaurant, from the owners themselves.
